Course description

Schedule, syllabus and examination date

Course content

Linear models include both regression and analysis of variance which are some of the most commonly applied statistical methods. Simple ANOVA uses fixed effects. A variation is random effects models where variance components are estimated. General linear models with fixed and random components. Illustrations and excercises with real data are integrated into the course.

Learning outcome

In the course we look upon sensory data and longitudinal medical data as the main applications and as illustrations of the general models.These models and the theory connected to them have a wide range of other applications as well. After completing the course you should master the use of mixed linear models for these applications and be able to generalize to other cases.

Admission

PhD candidates from the University of Oslo should apply for classes and register for examinations through Studentweb.

If a course has limited intake capacity, priority will be given to PhD candidates who follow an individual education plan where this particular course is included. Some national researchers’ schools may have specific rules for ranking applicants for courses with limited intake capacity.

Examination

Depending on the number of students, the exam will be in one of the following four forms: 1.Only written examPlush Thickening seven Warm Boots Boots KHSKX Winter Warm Round New Snow Shoes Round Velvet Thirty 2.Only oral exam 3.A project paper followed by a written exam. 4.A project paper followed by an oral exam/hearing.For the latter two the project paper and the exam counts equally and the final grade is based on a general impression after the final exam. (The two parts of the exam will not be individually graded.)

What form the exam will take will be announced by the teaching staff within October 15th for the autumn semester and March 15th for the spring semester.
